Can't find good HITs? 11/27

Wow, I had a stupid vertical stripe error on my computer screen that happened right in the middle of me doing this one. Got back with only 20 mins left to complete it. Got it in in time without an abandonment or having to return it though. Damn Dell Computers.

 

And I had no idea there were THAT many ways to ask the same question

 

There are a bunch of CF video sentiments hits up.

These medcrowds not automatically approving is giving me a huge sad. I know they'll approve eventually but man I could use that $50 now

The threads on this part of the forum are hugely helpful too, especially the scripts!

Apparently some of my HITs from last week are getting Auto-Approved by the buttload right now!

 

Mine too. When I sat down at 3, I had 115 pending, now only 82!

 

has anybody seen any UNC Interaction Design Lab batches today?

 

Seriously. I don't know how someone can link a YouTube video thinking its a link to a HIT.

 

Even if he was trying to post a music hit, that music sucks and would not be a hit in my book lol

 

I think he was probably doing one of the CrowdFlower video sentiment analysis HITs and copied the wrong URL


I accidentally posted a link to a Reddit thread I was reading through once :-D

Am I the only one who finds this kind of anti-climactic
I mean I like to see the money but I also love seeing those high pending numbers lol

 

I do when I watch them go down...but I love when you wake up and all of a sudden, overnight, MONEY! Especially if you've just withdrawn.

 

Whats the best strategy to making money in mturk? Low pay lots of volume or one and done hits?

 

Yep, that's me too. If you were not in here last night, you could review the "can't find good hits? 11/26" because I asked a ton of newbie questions and everyone was unbelievably helpful. You could read what they shared with me and hopefully learn some things like I did.

 

A good combination of both. If you can find good batches to do and then surveys in between.
I'm been on mturk for about 2 1/2 weeks and I've made $120. I still have under 1000 HITs which prevents me from doing some of the better batches
